Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U.‘S. Gov’t Report
ABSOLUTEl* PURE
EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
How tk Bold Lover Won tlie Day and Also
Won His Girl From Her Father.
He was a mild young fellow, and, as
his sweetheart imagined, without much
force of character, as he kept putting
the "ask papa” day off indefinitely. So
the young woman prompted him to be
sure he was right and go ahead.
“You see, papa has a great deal ot
bluff and bluster, but when you come
right down to it he is perfectly safe.
Only you must show him that you have
plenty of courage—real grit. That’s what
ho likes.”
“All right. Suppose you ask him to
step in now. I may as well get my hand
in if that is the way it works.”
"But, dearest, he is awful big and
strong, you know.”
“Ob, if it comes to personal violence I
will defend myself with the furniture.
Trot him in.”
“And you won’t let him put you off?”
“Not a bit.”
“Then Til tell him you want to see
him.”
There were two chances of escape for
the young man—one by way of the door,
the other by the window—but he did not
avail himself of either.
When the father strode into the room
with his best knock-down-and-drag-out
air, the youth rose indifferently to meet
him.
“Well, well, what’s all this about? 1
understand you want to see me. Well,
look at me now and be quick about it,”
growled the pater.
“H’m. Can’t say as you’re much to
look at, Mr.-. I merely wished to
mention to you that Miss Clara has en
gaged herself to me with my consent,
and I propose to fill my part of the con
tract to the letter.”
“Idiot! Idiot! My daughter”
“Take care, old man. Callmeasmany
names as you please, but refer to my fu
ture wife with proper respect.”
“Get out of this house, you”
“Certainly. As soon as my wife that
is to be can conveniently pack up her
belongings we will go.”
“Why, you impudent”
“Oh, keep cool; keep cool. I could
hold you out of the window with one
hand and call for the police with the
other. I was champion hitter and slug
ger at college. Look at that muscle,”
and he clinched a No. 7 hand into a for
midable fist.
“I never was so”
“Nor I. Call it quits. I want your
daughter, and I don’t care a continental
for your money or your blessing. We
can begin the world without either,
just as other young fools have done.
This is business, sir, business.”
The father felt his own head to see if
he was going to have an apoplectic fit,
then answered grimly:
“All right; I like your style. I should
have said ‘yes’ anyway if you had given
me time, but you took me by surprise. I
may say I was never so surprised in my
life.”
“Nor I,” assented the lover as he sunk
almost fainting into a chair, “but I’m a
business man, and don’t you forget it. I
don't stand any foolishness either in
love or war,” and he wiped the cold
perspiration off his forehead with a
nervous hand.
He had won the day and the girl too.
—Million.
Practical Philanthropy.
An excellent steward of this world’s
goods is Augustus Hemenway, a retired
farmer of Canton, Mass. He invited all
the public school teachers of that town,
26 in number, to take a 10 days’ trip to
the World’s fair at his expense.
This is practical philanthropy of a
kind that warms the heart and increases
confidence in the goodness of human
nature. It is an easy matter to advise
every one to visit the exposition, but
there are thousands of people anxious to
follow the advice who are confronted
with the perplexing and discouraging
problem of ways and means. Underpaid
schoolteachers, struggling clergymen,
men and women to whom the expendi
ture of $100 for an outing means serious
sacrifices for the remainder of the year,
may be found in all parts of the coun
try, longing to go to Chicago, but re
strained by financial considerations.
They are not suffering or destitute; they
simply can not afford to indulge in the
luxury of a trip to’ the fair. To this
class, intelligent and appreciative, a
friend like Mr. Hemenway is a friend
indeed.—Rochester Democrat.
Looking at Things.
When Mr. Hudson was in Patagonia,
he fell in with a gambler, who told him
that always after the first few rounds of
the game he knew some of the cards as
they were dealt. He recognized them
by a difference so slight that another
man could not detect it even when it was
pointed out to him.
Mr. Hudson is an ornithologist, and
he says that this same pretematurally
sharp eyed man was greatly surprised
when he was told that half a dozen kinds
of sparrows were feeding and singing
about the house. He had never seen any
difference in them, he said. In size, color,
shape and actions they were all alike,
and they all sang and twittered alike, so
far as he had ever noticed.—Youth’s
Companion.
Russian Oil Kings.
The wealthy Russian oil kings, the
Nobel brothers, who have driven Ameri
can oil out of eastern Europe, have no
lack of crude petroleum, for the firm it
self is said to own 50 oil wells near Baku,
and several are plugged down, not being
wanted at present. One of these mon
ster wells has suddenly spouted 80,000,
000 gallons to the surface, and not long
ago the great Droojba fountain rose to
the height of 300 feet and ejected the oil
at the rate of 8,000 tons a day.—London
Tit-Bits.
Can’t Faze an English Sparrow.
A sparrow has built its nest and laid
four eggs inside a gong at Isleworth
railway station. The gong has a cir
cumference of 31 inches, is sounded up
ward of 150 times every day, and when
it is rung the alarm can be heard 600
yards away.—St. James Gazette
